Is CPAP Rainout Dangerous and How Do I Stop It?
CPAP rainout happens when the heated air in your tubing cools down and condenses into water by the time it reaches your mask, resulting in a damp face. This can be quite uncomfortable, potentially waking you up due to the sensation of water on your skin or the gurgling noise caused by condensation in the tube.

Wash your mask, loosen your mask, reseat your mask.
